What is a coastal style home?

Coastal style quite simply takes its inspiration from beach front houses. This style is all about light, airy rooms decorated in colours that take inspiration from the coast. Think bright white sands and different hues of the blue ocean. If you’re searching for a relaxed, simplistic look that reminds you of summer all year round, let the coastal style take over your home.

What is coastal chic?

Coastal chic takes the whites and dark blues from traditional coastal style and gives it a more elegant twist. Think smooth painted furniture rather than distressed, natural wood. Linen fabrics and white washed ceilings can help create a chic look whilst still giving you that coastal feel.

What is modern coastal?

While traditional coastal style might favour seashell decor or a surfboard hanging on the wall, modern coastal style is more subtle in it’s homage to the beach. Blue lamps, white walls and wicker baskets are some of the ways you could decorate your home in this more modern style. Whilst a traditional coastal look might involve quite a few accent pieces, a more modern look favours a slightly more minimalist approach with just a few of those bolder items.

Beach colours for your living room

The coastal style celebrates natural light and follows a clean and crisp aesthetic. White walls and neutral tones can help to create this seaside elegance, whilst pops of blue are essential for giving your room that ocean feel. If you are looking to add some bolder colours whilst still following a coastal themed interior, coral pinks and sunny yellows are the perfect choice.

How do you decorate a coastal house?

When it comes to coastal design ideas, you’ll want to combine beach-inspired accessories with walls and furniture in light and neutral tones. For a traditional coastal look you might choose coloured glass vases, seashell ornaments or prints of anchors or sea life. For furniture, distressed painted wood will give you that coastal rustic look. For a living room with a more modern coastal style, rattan rugs, wicker baskets and blue and white accent pillows will help to add a more contemporary feel to your living room.
